<\/a>New parking-protected bike lane on Lankershim<\/p>\nThis Lankershim lane had not been part of the city\u2019s under construction Chandler Blvd. project<\/a> in earlier iterations [Fall 2021 presentation<\/a>], but now appears on the DOT\u2019s project page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard project<\/p>\n LADOT is putting the finishing touches on the Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd Safety and Mobility Project in South Los Angeles, just east of Exposition Park.<\/p>\n In 2021 Metro funded this project<\/a>, which then included installing bike lanes on Avalon Boulevard, Gage Avenue, and on more of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The city retooled the project to include fewer new bikeway miles on MLK, and dropped Avalon and Gage in favor of Broadway Place and 39th Street.<\/p>\n The city upgraded existing bike lanes on MLK<\/a> earlier this year. This week\u2019s LADOT newsletter announced that new protected lanes had been added to 39th and Broadway Place. <\/p>\n Streetsblog visited the project yesterday, and the new bikeways are mostly completed, but some additional work is still underway, mainly on 39th.<\/p>\n<\/a>New protected bike lanes on Broadway Place<\/p>\nLADOT map of MLK Blvd. Safety and Mobility Project<\/p>\nParking-protected bike lanes on Broadway Place<\/p>\n
